I read someplace in the help files that you can install any TT file on your PC into PCstitch7. I have tried. But, when the select box comes up, in the line that says what ext it will accept, it says "PCstitch font file" How can I install a tt font in to the program. I do have the 2 add-on font collections installed.

To use True Type Fonts in a design, simply select "True Type" on the text toolbar rather than Stitched fonts and they are available!
It's the same for all levels of PCStitch as far as I know.

Rose - you cannot use HTML on this board. Please convert to bbcode. You can use preview to see if you got the effect right.

Okay... I know how to click the TT box and use a TT font.
What I am trying to do, is install a font on the PC, so I can use it.
I downloaded one directly to my fonts folder. I got that one to work.
But, I have numerous ones saved in a folder that are zip files. Some of them have 2 files, the actual font and a help file which also shows the font. It says that you just have to copy it to your font folder in windows, which I have tried to do. I have tried several and they won't copy to the font file. There used to be a limit of having 500 fonts installed, so I took some off that I had, but it still won't copy. I have had this PC for about 3 years. Most of the files I have saved, but not installed, but they were installed on my old PC. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong.

You still show html code for your signature. You might try to "preview your posts" to see it before hand and maybe you can remove it.
To "install" a font in windows, you need to copy the files to the WINDOWS FONT folder. There used to be a limit of ALL folders of 512 files (including the two special pointers) which limits it to 510 actual files. I believe newer windows operating systems no longer have that limit but still, more than that gets a bit cumbersome.

I edited your post to show what your "signature" should look like if I'm interpreting your html codes right. I just used the codes for color (violet) and bolding.
